Kate John MLD DLT Lymphoedema Practitioner Reflects On Deep Oscillation"Since using the Deep Oscillation Personal Sports and with added card for Aesthetic indications, I have found it to be extremely beneficial. Of course, I was expecting, hoping, it to help with the break up/softening of fibrotic tissue, as most of the patients have lymphoedema or are post liposuction and I've not been disappointed. My surprise has been in the pain relieving benefits!! To date arthritis patients remaining pain free a week at a time, enabling one lady to walk up the stairs pain free and not seeing her Osteopath anymore.
I'm excited to help patients in other ways"

It is a true Godsend for hands-on therapists. Thank you, Nicky"

Award Winning MLD DLT Lymphoedema Practitioner, Dee Stringer of Swelling Matters To Provide DEEP OSCILLATION® Massages At TALK Lipoedema Roadhow in Kent 9th July 2016DEEP OSCILLATION®, developed by Physiomed Elektromedizin in Germany is an internationally patented therapeutic design which utilizes the forces of pulsed electrostatic attraction and friction to provoke oscillations, which act deeply on the tissues of the body from the epidermis down through the conjunctive and adipose layers and into the muscles. Hernandez Tapanes et al (2010) were able to prove, by diagnostic ultrasound, penetration of the oscillations up to an 8cm depth (see diagram). Observed physiological effects of the therapy include oedema resorption - Jahr S Et Al (2008) The therapy also limits the production of inflammatory mediators, especially during the treatment for chronic pain and more so during the treatment of fibromyalgia - Janik, H. et al (2010) strengthening of the cutaneous tissues - Korkina Et Al (2007), stimulation of the wound healing process Mikhalchik E, Et Al (2005), Trybulski R (2008).

Claire’s Story – A Single Mum, Struggling To Cope With LipoedemaWhat is Lipoedema? Lipoedema (NOT Lymphoedema) is a chronic, hereditary and genetic disorder of the adipose tissue (or body fat) which can be both disfiguring and painful. It predominantly affects women (although men can also suffer) from the age of puberty and beyond. Sufferers may have a normal slim (upper) body shape but a much larger disproportionate lower body below the waist without changes made to diet or exercise regime, in some cases, upper arms are effected too. As Lipoedema progresses, additional, expanding fat cells interfere with the pathways of lymphatic vessels and sufferers can develop secondary Lymphoedema and it then becomes known as Lipo-Lymphoedema. The effects of Lipoedema on the patient can also cause great psychological distress for the sufferer.
